Pretty much, there are a lot of people who want to use an iPhone as a mini laptop replacement not just as an 'smartphone' I figure the N900 might be an upgrade for these folks too.

After being absent and then lurking here for the past few days (out of the USA slow internet) I have noticed a clear divide between the old school N8x0 tablet users and the iPhone/Android/webOS defectors or trial users. The old tablet users are pretty much ecstatic with the N900 and a lot of the newer users are confused by what they consider to be standard features that are missing. Mainstream reviews like this are good because they really highlight the difference between the old 'tablet' experience and the 'smartphone' experience, I'm hoping the Engadget review can do the same as that will get a lot more views.
